[Conrad Parker]

One day before the W3C Video on the Web workshop, the codec
recommendations have been removed from the HTML5 draft :-(

I've temporarily removed the requirements on video codecs from the HTML5
spec, since the current text isn't helping us come to a useful
interoperable conclusion. When a codec is found that is mutually
acceptable to all major parties I will update the spec to require that
instead and then reply to all the pending feedback on video codecs.
